Me, A Wedding, and a Speech (We All Need Help)

On Saturday my best friendlittle sister best friend is getting MARRIED.

And I can't even believe it, she's going to be a wife.

Seriously though, I've know here since the day she was brought home from the hospital, and now she's getting married, but I think you probably got that part.

On to the next. I'm giving a speech at her wedding, and I SUCK at public speaking. Give me a group of sorority girls, a team at work, or a small crowd at a party and I am fine, but a group of people, many of whom I've never met and I stumble, stammer, stutter, and slur (especially after a few glasses of wine).

I've started writing it yesterday and I have

three

measly

lines

Anyone have any good tips on how to write a good maid of honor speech?

I'll take all the help I can get.

P.S. Let's hope for a good showing at this wedding, remember what happened at the last one?

Public speaking is my thang! (communications major) but I too still get nervous in public. Maybe focus on a moment/memory with her that always sticks out in your mind and why. Then lead that into her being a wife..culd be tear jerker or funny ;)
